Answer to Question 1
The textbook points out three emotional regulation strategies employed by older children:
a) Children will begin to regulate their own emotions more and rely less on others/adults to help them with this skill.
b) Children will rely more on mental strategies to control their emotional states.
c) Children more accurately match the strategies for regulating emotions with the particular setting in which the emotion occurs.
Excellent answers will list and give an example of all three of these strategies.
Answer to Question 2
Peers take on increasing importance in middle childhood. They assist in the
socialization of children, lending to the enhanced development of important social skills
such as sharing, cooperation, and coping strategies. Later-born children tend to be
more popular than first-born children. This may be due to the development of social
interaction skills resulting from interactions with one's siblings. Peer rejection is related
to behavioral and learning problems.
